LISTEN: Parktown High suffering from system failure, says parents

Parents from Parktown High Boys’ are calling for a complete system overhaul at the school following the confession of Collan Rex who admitted to sexual assault allegations.

The 22-year-old former water polo coach pleaded guilty to 144 sexual assault at the Gauteng South High Court on Tuesday.

Four parents from the school spoke to POWER Talk saying more needs to be done to change the culture of the institution.

“Collan Rex is one of the boys that was mentored into doing this. He was coached at Parktown Boys. It [abuse] happened to him from Grade 8 up until matric,” laments Dimpho Mofokeng (not her real name).

Another parent, believes the school is suffering from a monumental system failure.

“While I am talking to you initiation is still ongoing. We have a captured SGB. We have an SMP who are smiling and waving pretending as if everything is ok. What we looking at is a system,” she told host Iman Rappetti.
